Freud is married to James Fox, the author of the book White Mischief, and they have one son named Jimmy born around 2001.
Freud worked with John Malkovich in 1999 to produce three short films in forty-eight hours to document her fashion collection.[3]
In an appearance on the BBC current affairs program Newsnight on 2 August 2006, she voiced an impassioned denunciation of Israel's "disproportionately violent aggression" in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon Conflict.[4]
Bella Freud has contributed to the Sunday Telegraph free magazine Stella, with a column called "Bella on Beauty".[5] She recently partook in a fashion shoot with the closest of Vivienne Westwood's friends and clientelle, in which Freud was dressed in a gold boiler suit complete with pipe and hat.
In 2007, Freud launched her own knitwear collection. To illustrate her work she collaborated with Elle Muliarchyk, a model and artist who was called "Guerrilla Model" by The New York Times. On her travels around the world Elle Muliarchyk created imaginary film stills by photographing herself wearing Freud's designs, only at nights, at often dangerous locations. These images, called Journey To The End Of The Night, was exhibited during London's Frieze Art Fair in 2007.
Freud's recent collection was featured in The New York Times Exclusive Short "The Last Poet".[6]
